First Pro show I ever attended 79 Florida Pro, Mentzer beat Robby in his pro debut! Thought Robby should have won! He was in unbelievable shape! Looked like he was carved out of marble! Mentzer got perfect score! Robby was unreal!
They had to give it to Mike or he would have cried about it for decades long after the contest was forgotten by most.  ;)

:) I met Mike about a year before that, he was guest posing at a local show! He talked to us for about 10 minutes. He was cool, had a good sense of humor back then! I was with my buddy and the manager of the gym I trained in who had legit 19" arms cold! He looked at him and said life ain't worth living if you don't have 18" arms! Guess he meant it!

I`ll tell you later about the very first time I saw Mentzer in a mall with Ray and Dave Mastorakis.

Too busy eating right now.

. Now Cmon.  Robby won the next two with Mike getting second snd third- behind an awesome Danny Padilla and Mike never made a peep. He knew his condition had slipped- too much stress in a short time- dying mom, 3 shows, etc. nor did he utter a word after losing the Canada Cup to Dickerson in 79 or have much to say after winning the over 200 but losing the overall to Zane in 79...

53 y/o here! He is kinda recluse and won't mind drawing some attention...this was around 1998 at Firehouse and all of a sudden he screamed out loud I LOVE GROWTH HORMONE. He is one of the few who have lead the bb lifestyle since he syarted doing it. Hmself said Mentzer was his most fierce competitor and only had nice things to say about him, At one point for a few years in the 80;ies he moved to and stayed in Holland/Amsterdam for a few years. His hair was more afro and way longer back then. Guy also had LOTS of not so flattering things to say about the WEIDERS...
He even banned them from showing ANY pics of him at all in their mags. I I remember correct the coffeeshop MARLEYS got some nice written artwork of Robby on the walls. It's about a 5 min walk from Ballys, Amsterdams biggest and most equiped gyms. Dorian comes there when in town as well. Cormier too. Ed Van Amsterdam had his own dungoun (more like Temple gym)

His book is really good and a good biography. He talks about why he's a man of few words. I really thought a bodybuilding biography would stink but he did a good job. You learn about the lie told about him in Vietnam that was printed in the Weider mags.  Order the book at http://www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php

I wish Coleman looked like this instead of the bloated mess that he has become.

Robbi should have had an Olympia, had the first night of champions, should have beat gaspari for the first Arnold classic.

as least he won the first lou ferrigno classic masters olympia

He looks only around 20-25% worse shape than the peak years  :o

Wonder he really was natarollo
This is a post by Robby Robinson in his facebook page

BODYBUILDING IS ABOUT HEALTH!
MANY HAVE TAKEN THE USE OF ANABOLIC STEROIDS TO ANOTHER LEVEL SO THAT STEROIDS HAVE CAUSED DEATH AND HEALTH CONDITIONS TO SO MANY.
YES! I HAVE USED THEM OFF AND ON FOR 27 YEARS AS COMPETITIVE BODYBUILDER.
YES! I WAS CONCERNED EVERY TIME I USED THEM.
I AM A VERY LUCKY MAN TO COME OUT WITH MY HEALTH INTACT.

THESE ARE BODYBUILDERS I GREW UP WITH WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US :
•   Sonny Schmidt died at 46
•   Scott Klein died at 30
•   Ron Teufel died at 45
•   Dan Duchaine died at 48
•   Mohammed Benaziza died at 28
•   Andreas Munzer died at 30
•   Mike Mentzer died at 49
•   Ray Mentzer died at 47
•   Don Ross died at 55.
•   Dr. John Tristany died.
•   Don Peters died.
•   Ray Raridon died.
•   Frank Hillebrand
AND THOSE WITH STEROID HEALTH RISKS:
•   Dennis Newman (leukemia)
•   Orville Burke (coma)
•   Don Long (kidney failure)
•   Tom Prince (kidney failure)
•   Flex Wheeler (kidney transplant)
•   Ed Corney (stroke)
•   Boyer Coe (heart)
•   Danny Padilla (heart)
•   Pete Grymkowski (heart)
•   Mike Martarazzo 39 (triple bypass heart surgery)

THE SYSTEM HAS CHEATED SO MANY - THE LIST IS LONG.
THE TRUTH HURTS. IT'S NOT "SHIT".
SAD BUT TRUE: WITH JW PASSING HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A BETTER DAY FOR THE SPORT OF BODYBUILDING.
IT BELONGS IN A HIGHER PLACE, AND WITH OFFICIALS THAT WILL BRING IT OUT OF THE CULT SPORT UNDERGROUND MINDSET.
THE GOAL SHOULD BE TO BRING AN AWARENESS OF ITS IMPORTANCE WHEN IT COMES TO BEING HEALTHY AND FIT.

Fucking Lou stomped around and whined like a bitch even though Robby clearly smoked his ass.
